I love to dance. So many kinds of dance I’ve enjoyed – ballet, jazz, lyrical, club, two-step and so on. But I’ve never done the Tango. It sounds exciting, intriguing, perhaps even…dangerous. I do know one thing about the tango, and that is, as the saying goes, “it takes two”. It’s not something you can do by yourself.

Neither is writing.

But all I want is time to myself so I can write, you say. Make the world go away for a little while, so I can write, I beg of you!

I sympathize. Believe me, I do. But even when we are alone writing, we are not alone. If we are writing something we actually want someone to read someday, then there is always one other person present. Our dear reader. Is our writing not a dance with our reader?

In my head it is. lol The first thing that made me fall in love with Bill is that he loves to dance. When we first went dating he would take me out to several dances. Our song is “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton. I remember when Bill dances he dances like the Energizer Bunny. He just keeps going and going working up a sweat! Bill’s birthday is Feb 22 and I am treating Bill to a dinner at a family restaurant and then we’re going dancing. I am so passionate about dancing! I have a whole vision of what I would like to do for a new dance regalia. My New Year’s resolution this year is to go to at least four Pow Wows this year. My preferred choices are the Midwinter Pow Wow, Mohican Veterans Pow Wow, Indian Summer Festival, and the UW-Milwaukee Autumn Pow Wow. This is the year of dance!
